"If my first glance of the morning was for the sun, my first thought was for the butterflies it would engender." — Vladimir Nabokov

Can we use the book format to capture our thoughts? Vladimir Nabokov's memoirs and interviews and Marcel Proust's Cahiers versus The School of Life's pop self-help book "How to think More Effectively" which references both. What does it mean to "think effectively" and why do we view the world through rectangles? Show notes: The Libro Illegibile  (Unreadable Book) by Bruno Munari and those Ellezi Klipi staplers. The image for this episode is not the Starry Night Cracker, I mentioned, but a sketch I made of a black swallowtail. Also included: Marcel Proust, Kenya Hara, and Virginia Woolf.
